The core component of LODE-BD contains a set of recommended decision trees for common properties used in describing a bibliographic resource instance. Each decision tree is delivered with various acting points and the matching encoding suggestions. The full range of options presented by LODE-BD will enable data providers to make their choices according to their development stages, internal data structures, and the reality of their practices.

A road-map is added to guide the navigation of LODE-BD sections.

A crosswalk is added which maps the metadata terms used in the LODE-BD 2.0 with schema.org properties. It is attached as Appendix 4.
